Bloc of National Minorities

The Bloc of National Minorities (BMN) was a political party in Poland that was active from 1922 to 1930. The BMN was founded by Polish-Jewish politician Yitzhak Gruenbaum, and its electoral committee consisted of three representatives each from the Belarusians, Jews, Germans, and Ukrainians. The party did very well in the 1922 elections, winning 19.5% of the vote and becoming the second-largest party. In the shakedown following the 1930 elections (during which it was reduced to the ninth-largest party), the BMN was dissolved.
